With supply very limited I may pull the trigger on the one I found but common sense tells me to sleep on it. Especially with my LE / filter concerns too. Why would you put a fixed hood on that lens unless you have you're wanting to force people to buy your ND and CP filters too. I can only imagine what a Zeiss CP or ND filter would run. *mind blown*

bruni - Nice shot! 2/35 is a superb lens. Also great is its smaller size and weight compare to its 1.4 sibling.

Bob - you are on a roll ! No parking shot with 35 1.4 and the abandoned bike with 15 2.8 are my favs. Oh, and the escalator shot.

1.4/35 WO continuum

Does anybody else (than myself) play the "brand colour game"? I use to browse, once in a while, through the last dozen of pages and try to guess whether the pics are made with Canon or Nikon, without looking at the poster and additional infos. A (longer) while ago Canon were about 80-90% of all shots here, meanwhile it is down to maybe 60:40 or almost half half.

Anyway, I have a success rate of roughly 90%. Sometimes I rate a Nikon for Canon, almost never the other way round.
Also the latest models of both (d800 and 5dIII) have a different colour from the older models (d700 and 5dII).
The colour palette I seem to like most is the one of the 5d II. I don't tend to like the Nikons, specially the d700. I switched from 5dII to d700 *and back* twice. d700 being the much better camera, but Nikon colour remaining a frustration for me. On both I use mainly my Zeiss ZF lenses (with adapter on the Canon). I never understand when people say this is a non- issue because once mastering the workflow you can make any camera look the way you like. At least most people can't do it then because Canon tends to look Canon, Nikon like Nikon.

The best color I have seen in this thread BTW was with Fujis EX-1 or whatever it is called, probably Zeiss adapted. Fuji masters colour better than anybody else.
